Best red dot for turkeys

[ddd-shooter]

Tried a search, couldn’t come up with much.
Looking to add one to a benelli SBE3.

Lots of variables. Lots of options.

12, 20, or 28 gauge?

Will you use this gun for other things or just turkey?

If other things, are you willing to get another barrel?

I have a couple of Burris Fastfire III’s and a Vortex Venom. Can say I prefer one over the other. They work.
I use Sumtoy Custom mounts. Had to shim a red dot on a small .410 to get the proper adjustment.

If you want the best I’d get a scalarworks mount and the aimpoint t2. I originally had the sumtoy/venom setup on here and it worked fine, just got the wild hair to upgrade

20 gauge
Turkeys in the spring, doves in the fall. One barrel.

I bought a Vortex Viper Enclosed last year for my SBE2 and loved it. I took it off for ducks this year, despite their marketing attempt to say it’s a good idea for wing shooting. I put it back on recently in preparation for turkey season and I did not have to adjust the zero. I really like not having to mess with a rail.

I’ve never really understood the red dot on a turkey gun thing.

If you’ve got em in close enough for shotgun range, just use the bead? Can’t think of a time where a red dot would’ve been any more of a benefit.

Red dot gives you some forgiveness if your head isn't all the way down on your gun. They are also great for younger/beginner hunters for the same reason.

I have a couple Burris fast fires and love them. One is on a sumtoy mount and the other on Meadow Creek rib mount. I recently purchased a vortex spark but haven't put it on a gun or used it yet.

Forgive the ignorance, if my gun is already drilled and tapped, do I need the sumtoy mount? Benefits?
